Description: |
PromoScience program offers financial support for organizations working with young Canadians to promote an understanding of science and engineering (including mathematics and technology). Organizations may request funds for up to three years at a time. NSERC will accept only one application per department. Concurrent awards must be held at different departments and applicants must demonstrate that there is no overlap between the activities proposed and those supported by other applications or active awards. The onus is on the applicant to find out what other activities at their institution are currently supported by, or being requested from, PromoScience. The proposed activities must address the PromoScience objectives and must not be for recruitment purposes. Up to five letters of reference; these are highly recommended, as applications without letters of reference may be at a disadvantage in the competition. |
